I have been making these cookies every year for Christmas since I was in high school!! I roll them really thin so they are crispy, not soft/chewy and only add sprinkles. This recipe is for a double batch, but can easily be divided. **Chilling dough not included in prep time** Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
5 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons salt |
colored sprinkles, for decoration |
Directions:
1. Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated (can be done by hand, but I use a stand mixer).
4. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge until cold (approx. 1 hour).
5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
6. Roll out approximately 1 1/2-2 cups of dough at a time (or whatever amount you have room for on your workspace).
7. Cut cookies with seasonal cookie cutters.
8. Place cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets for easy clean up.
9. Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
10. Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
11. Cool on wire rack and store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
